Rata Scenic Reserve |
Blue
Rata scenic reserve is located on the Hangatahua (Stony)
River. Here you will find beautiful clear swimming
holes that are full of rainbow and brown trout, and a great
place for a picnic.
The Hangatahua River is a well kept secret in Taranaki,
it is similiar to the world famous Tongariro River in Taupo
with perfectly clear waters that are a joy to swim in or
fish.

| Stony
River Walkway |
Starting from Old South Road in Okato this scenic walkway
meanders along the Kahihi stream and the Stony (Hangatahua)
River, through native bush and farmland.
The walk way is only 4km in length and is great for kids,
so pack a picnic, swimming togs, and a fishing rod and enjoy
a real piece of Taranaki.
